Digital Literacy Mission
India over the last 7 years has become a prominent nation in deploying technologies for the benefit and transforming the lives of its citizens. Keeping this in view, the Government is focusing on providing digital literacy to citizens across the country, especially in rural areas. In line with this, the Government has taken various steps as under:
- During the years 2014 to 2016, Government of India had implemented two Schemes on providing digital literacy to the masses namely “National Digital Literacy Mission ” and “Digital Saksharta Abhiyan ” with a cumulative target of 52.50 lakh persons  across the country including rural India. Under these two schemes, a total of 53.67 lakh beneficiaries were trained, out of which around 42% candidates were from rural India. Both schemes has been closed now. The State/UT-wise achievement is given as Annexure-I.
- In the year 2017, Government has approved a Scheme titled ''Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan '' to usher in digital literacy in rural India with a target to cover 6 crore rural households  across the country. So far, a total of more than 6.62 crore candidates have been enrolled and 5.68 crore have been trained, out of which 4.22 crore candidates have been duly certified under the PMGDISHA Scheme across the country. The State/UT-wise achievement is given as Annexure-II.
